For more information about the exhibition, please visit montclairartmuseum.org/looknow

Drawn from area private collections, Look Now: Modern and Contemporary Art from Private Collections offers a rare opportunity to view nearly 40 works by 20th- and 21st-century artists who have extended the boundaries of art making. Seldom exhibited in public, these works offer an overview of the art of the last century, and represent a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, video, photography, drawings, and prints.

The artists featured range from early 20th-century masters such as Andrew Dasburg and Morton Livingston Schamberg; to midcentury innovators such as Louise Bourgeois, Roy Lichtenstein, Alex Katz, and Andy Warhol; to cutting-edge contemporary artists such as Rachel Harrison, Ryan McGinness, and Bill Viola.

The exhibition is co-curated by Gail Stavitsky, chief curator, and Alexandra Schwartz, curator of contemporary art.
